barf

Yes, yes; Barf is as happy as a boy now, but I remember when he was back-set and fore-set with trouble.

Barf Latrigg is ageing fast now; he was my father's crony; if I slighted him, I should feel as if father knew about it.

Barf had lost his sight when I got there; but he knew my voice, and he asked me to lay my face against his face.

Barf's married daughters had their portions long ago, but he left each of them three hundred pounds as a good-will token.
